• W max second for snowballing, E max second for utility

Ability Order Flexibility:

• Level 1: Start E against engage supports (Nautilus, Pyke, Leona)
• Level 1: Start Q against enchanters (Lulu, Karma, Nami)
• Always have Q and E by level 2

Spider Form E Mechanic:

Early Game Tips:

Success with Elise support requires:

Practice these fundamentals before taking Elise into ranked games, as she has a steep learning curve but high carry potential when mastered.
